Gather together four boxes. Label one Put Away, the next Give Away/Sell, the third Storage and the fourth label Trash.
Now get started! - Box and Banish
This one is especially useful if you need to quickly declutter a room for some guests. Take a box or boxes into the room you are working on and box all the clutter up. It’s that simple, some people set aside time to organize it later and some just pitch the box, sight unseen.
- Penicillin Method
The Penicillin method uses a Petri dish metaphor to help you beat clutter. Imagine a Petri dish full of fuzzy brown mold spores. A researcher begins to apply small drops of penicillin to the dish. Each little drop clears a small circular area; soon, drop upon drop, the entire dish is cleared of the distasteful intruder. So, too, with the Penicillin method of decluttering. Today, the declutterer clears the kitchen table. From this point, no matter how bad the clutter becomes elsewhere, the kitchen table is inoculated with Penicillin. Daily clutter checks make sure no clutter is permitted to return. - Build Good Clutter Busting Habits
